The U.S. needs new laws protecting game consoles from piracy. Developing an emulator for a current gen system should classify as a copyright violation. Hacking/Cracking a current gen system should count as corporate espionage. Both offenses should come with heavy fines and/or jailtime.

Wow what a wonderful Orwellian police state we'd live in if you were in power.

If hardware manufacturers don't want people cracking their systems, they should do a better job engineering their security.  The idea that someone should be legally barred from modifying a piece of hardware that they own is ridiculous. 

Of course, even if a law of this sort did exist, it would be totally unenforceable.
